I have a rug texture that I would like to add to a slab that is being used for a rug. Then i have a plasma tv and i want to add a pic from a festival so it can give the perception that the TV is broadcasting the festival. Can someone help me on this.

It will flip, however, (bug) so in the Texture Space Class, ST Layout Shader, do a T reflect in the parameter. Uncheck "Show Essential" to reveal this parameter.<BR /> <BR /> If the image is not aligned, use the Align 3D Texture Command to place the lower left corner of your material repeat interval at the lower left corner of your object.<BR /> <BR /> Question 2: Plasma TV<BR /> <BR /> The answer is complex, taking almost two pages of my "LightWorks in ArchiCAD" book. It is easy enough to put a picture on the front of the television object, but to make it appear to glow and shine light into the room involves an assembly.
